The coat was made straight from a
pattern with no alterations, save the pockets I added. I made it out of soft,
medium-weight "wrinkle-free" material. The
black overdress was mostly trial and error. I had a pattern for a corset that I
altered and added a skirt to. Found that material at a second hand store for
next to nothing =D I was worried about how I'd be able to make her underdress
since I couldn't find a pattern with a neck like that, but my lucky streak with
this costume held over and I found a pattern at the same second-hand store. It
needed changing in a few places, but it turned out well.

The pendant was made for
me by Fantasy Props. It really is the closest I've ever seen anyone come to the
official design. The glasses were bought, then painted to match the
coat. Unfortunately, they're strong reading glasses, so I had a little trouble
getting around with them on =( The boots, which I do not yet have a picture of, were
also a thrift store find. I painted them and sealed them with clear coat.
Finally, we come to the hair. Oi, it hurts to think about it. I made a brace out
of heavy wire that I put in the ponytail, then I twisted my hair around that. A
good idea, but the weight of my hair pushed the braces into my head all day. I
have the supplies to make a wig for this costume...now if I could make myself do
it. I also need better pictures : (
